ah, you see so few of those on the road now, but i remember when the world
was littered with shiny new dodge omnis
the car looked largely to be a rabbit knockoff and the early ones came with
a rabbit engine. this engine proved troublesome for chrysler and was
replaced with the corporate 2.2 liter. don't recall the mitsubishi 2.6
being used in this car, but it would not surprise me as those seem to have
been put in everything

The very early Dodge Omnis / Plymouth Horizons used the entire VW engine
and transaxle, though for some reason this was not promoted. Later they
had Mitsu and then Chrysler power, right? I am digging far back into the
sands of time here, so I may be like Wile E. Coyote, confusibus maxiumus.

I thought it was the Dodge Omni; however, it may have been the Gremlin.
One of the auto magazines did an article on modifying this engine 10-15
years ago.

<<I'm willing to be crucified if needed, but I'm fairly positive that
the only VW sourced engines ever to show up in a Porsche product were
the 914 and 912E (same flat four T4 engine) and the early version of
the Porsche 924, with that oldball amalgam of the Audi 100LS block and
weird overhead cam head w/Vega-style adjustable lifter cups. I'm also
fairly positive, in fact quite sure that all the 356 engine variants
were of Porsche design and construction, though were somewhat similar
to VW T1 engine designs.>>
You are correct. My previous arguments referred to the vertical fan fours
which do resemble VWs externally. BTW, which American car used the
Audi/924 block? 924 owners are still trying to live that down.
